Ashlie: Yes, we’re both good swimmers. But I’m not keen on going in very cold water.

Surf Shop Assistant: Don’t worry about the cold. We’ll give you wetsuits that can keep you warm. And we’ll get you just the right size board.

Ashlie: Great, thank you!

….

Ashlie: That looks pretty hard, Stephen. I wonder if we’ll be able to stand after just one lesson?

Stephen: I might be able to, but you won’t! Here comes the instructor. We can ask him.

Ashlie: Hi there. We’re here for our first lesson. And I was just wondering – do you think that we’ll be able to stand by the end of today?

Instructor: Absolutely – no problem. We're going to start off with the basics of surfing and you guys are going to have a great time.

Stephen: That’s excellent! Shall we get straight in the water, then?

Instructor: We’re going to start off on the beach first of all, guys.

Instructor: First of all, you need to decide which foot you naturally put to the front. That’s the foot that goes to the front of the board.

Stephen: Like this?

Instructor: Yes, that’s it. Now we need to work out how you lie on the board so that you can balance properly whenever you’re paddling. Once you learn how to lie down then you start learning how to stand up. OK?

Instructor: First of all, you guys need to put your surfboards onto the sand.

…..

Stephen: I think I’ve swallowed half of the ocean. And I’m freezing cold too. I need a hot drink to warm me up.

Ashlie: Come on then, I think there’s a café at the top of this beach.

Stephen: Where did I put my money? Oh no!

Ashlie: What’s the matter, Stephen?

Stephen: I put my wallet in my wetsuit to keep it safe... And now my money’s soaking wet!

Hi,
I've never been in Northern Island or even Europe,but I lived in New Zealand few years ago.This video's taken me to the sceneries which we saw in South Island.Still love that country.Thanks for the nice video and the nice lesson

I've never been to Northern Ireland, I've watched some movies about it, most of them were historical ; some reports too.
I took two windsurfing lessons in La Réunion Island. Now I live in New Caledonia. I learnt windsurfing there but I don't practice anymore.
A few years ago I went in the waves with a Stand Up Paddle, It's easier than with a short board.

I never ever have tried surfing lessons but I have plenty admiration for the people that practice this sport. The North and all Irish coast are ideal to do surfing, in fact to do surfing and see the beatiful coastline are ones of many reason because the tourist visit this country.
